The Knox County Sheriff's Office dropped a different kind of ball on the heads of a notorious motorcycle gang on New Year's Eve, sending at least two of them to jail for allegedly threatening an undercover officer and stealing his vest last month.

A SWAT team armed with concussion grenades and assault rifles raided the clubhouse of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club's Knoxville chapter off Western Avenue, swiftly handcuffing more than a dozen leather-clad bikers and at least two women as they were celebrating with booze, sandwiches and vegetable plates, authorities said.

"These guys are a menace to society," said Knox County Sheriff Jimmy "J.J." Jones. "Everything they stand for is illegal."

The search warrant that was executed at the clubhouse Thursday was triggered by an incident in December involving Lester and the Knoxville chapter's president, Kenneth Foster, Jones said.

Lester and Foster allegedly threatened the undercover officer with a semiautomatic pistol and demanded his vest, Jones said. The officer, "fearing for his life," turned over the vest to the two men.

The officers used concussion grenades to "stun and disorient" the house's occupants before bursting in, Jones said.

Knoxville Police Department Chief Sterling P. Owen IV said that police had control of the house in "under a minute."
